Don´t we all feel shipwrecked sometimes?


Burtonport used to be an important place for the
fishing industry...

*********************

Burtonport a small fishing village nestled on the
extreme northwest coast of Ireland in the county of
Donegal,with a population of about 1100 people. The
village derived its name from a wealthy English
landowner of the time, Lord Burton Conynham. He
established a jetty and a few other amenities at the
location and called it "Burtons Port", hence the name
"Burtonport". There are a large number of islands off
the northwest coast. Rutland,Arranmore,Innishfree to
name but a few. Arranmore being the larger of these
islands with a population of about 800 people and has a
daily ferry service to and from the island from
Burtonport.
In years gone by the infra road structure as we know it
to-day was literary non-existent and the main access
point to the area was by sea,landing at Rutland island
which is just opposite Burtonport.Rutland then was the
main port of call to the area and at the time it was a
flourishing commercial centre where a colony of English
settlers had been established on it after the
plantation of Ulster in 1609. Although to-day the
island consists mainly of holiday homes it holds
memories of many historic events such as the landing of
Napper Tandy and the French forces at the beginning of
the 1798 rising. Up until recent years Burtonport was
a thriving fishing port,however due to the decline in
fish stocks over the years the harbour area is now
being developed towards the tourist industry with
amenities for the small pleasure craft. The development
of a wind farm accross from the harbour is currently
under way.

Hi Thorsten,
Great photo. Tells a story. Nice capture.

Hi Thorsten,

Very nice, though there is a bit of over-exposure in the top of the sky. I would have added a thin black line at the inside of the white frame, just to make a clear difference between the frame and the over-exposed sky at the top. Yes, best is off course to not have over-exposure ;-).
I do like the vivid colours and the whole composition as presented here. Nice one.

Greetings and have a good weekend,

Dennis
